I prepared the application, provided examples of my work and began to wait for the results. Soon the answer arrived. My claim was rejected without explanation. I thought that my work may not be pleasing to the organizers, but in any case, decided to contact the organizers and request an explanation. The answer discouraged me, it occurs my works were rejected not because of their artistic deficiencies, but because they were DIGITAL. I did ask, "what difference do the technical methods make when an artist creates a picture, is not the final result more important?" The answer was even more strange - We do not want traditional artists to be offended by the proximity to digital pictures". Cool! There is a skill obtained in traditional art made by hands (or by other body parts) and there is a skill of the second type, which is not completely a skill, made with the aid of the computer. Proximity to such works is offensive for the real artist. It is implied that the computer itself sketches the picture, and man presses the buttons. And this opinion is very wide spread. I do not know if it is worthwhile to explain that the computer itself generally cannot make anything. It is simply a piece of iron and wires. Everything you see on it's screen is made by PEOPLE. But the further people are from the technology, the more they are convinced that the computer is a thinking machine which works by itself. The only thing it needs is to have the necessary button pushed. The question of who made this button it does not arise. Therefore, if the artist holds in his hand not a pencil but an electronic pen and he draws not on paper but the screen of a computer, then does he no longer art? Or is the work instead initiated and completed by the computer? Is art created by the computer? To me it does not seem worthwhile to comment on the absurdity of this assertion. Thus, we observe the explicit discrimination of artists using digital technologies by art critics and curators of exhibitions. Moreover, this discrimination is based exclusively on the technique. The quality of the works themselves do not enter into the calculation.

On the one hand, i agree with the exhibitors that art that have a strong computergenerated feel do not belong in an expo focused on traditional painted (i assume) art. at least for me, such art is all about stroke-placements, value and color choices, how one can hint at complexity with a few expertly placed strokes and so on. computergenerated art, and by that i mean imagery rendered from 3dmodels, heavily filtered pieces, photomanips etc - or pieces that incorporate lots of such elements, can't really be appreciated on those grounds. Because of that, I think such art truly have no place in an expo about traditionally painted art. Not saying your art specifically falls into this category, just that sometime digital art do. Of course, then there is a huge amount of great digital art that is not like that, and should be more than welcome, so stating like they do, that all digital media is banned is wrong. The other side that i see of this is this: There is absolutely a huge difference in tolerance towards a really crappy handpainted canvas compared to an equally crappy digitally filtered mishmash. The creator of the crappy canvas can somehow always claim artistic superiority and say things like "It's MEANT to be crappy - you are just too stupid to see the grandeur that this masterpiece shine with!!1" and the crowd would pretend they all saw said greatness and rain praise on said creator, whereas the creator of the crappy filtercrap is not even treated as an artist at all, but rather someone who should preferably go home and hide under a rock for the rest of his/her life. This of course, means that exhibitors are much more hesistant to accept mediocre digital art. After all, it WOULD be offensive to the artsy fartsy elite great painter to have his, merely misunderstod piece, be placed in the same category as the crapfest that the no-life coompuutergeek made with his machinething. And since the exhibitors might not always be too confident in their ability to judge if a digital piece is good enough to not be booed off stage and offend everybody involved, they might take the easy way out and ban digital media outright. Again, not saying your art is a stinking crap-fest. I'm just pointing out that since SOME art is, and the reaction to that art is so bad, exhibitors might find it safe to ban all digital art, good and bad. Excuse the coarse language - it was needed to get the right mood across._________________The horror...

Posted: Wed Apr 22, 2009 4:48 pm It certainly sounds like clear discrimination, however without knowing the rules of the Toronto Art Expo it s difficult to comment conclusively. It is shameful that a medium is shunned due to misunderstandings and pathetic pre-conceptions. You should take this up higher with the organisers and ask them to clarify and justify their position further. All you can hope is that change will happen sooner rather than later, and yes it is inevitable. For now all you can do is continue to promote your art and find better facilitators who are more open to the digital medium. Back to top TzanmemberMember #Joined: 18 Apr 2003Posts: 755Location: Boston MA Posted: Thu Apr 23, 2009 6:55 am Did the Expo rules explicitly state traditional art only? I can certainly understand if they wanted a traditional only, just like an art exhibit might be digital or cubist traditional only. They can set their own rules. But that quote: Quote: We do not want traditional artists to be offended by the proximity to digital pictures". Wow! That statement is just amazing. Check the rules again to make sure it seemed open to everything, then contact local newspapers and tv if you want to push it further.

Haha Back to top NaeemmemberMember #Joined: 13 Oct 2004Posts: 1222Location: USA Posted: Fri Apr 24, 2009 8:42 am i will try to defend the expo: 1. with actual paints, you must work hard for craft (this requires years of training to be able to do exactly what you want) - with digital media, the 'cleanliness' and craft is immediate and a given. You have utter control everything you do. So, already, YOU are at an advantage. 2. With traditional media, there IS no Image>Adjustments>Levels. There IS no ctrl-z. There is no Hue adjustment. There IS no Color Balance Adjustment. There is no layer that you can delete in an instant. There is no multiple file saving so you can go back whenever you want. There is no instantaneous texturing/photobashing. It all comes from pure thought. That's where stroke economy comes into play. That's where actual discipline and creativity begin to meet. Why is every digital artist that wants to truly be on the top reccomended that he FORGET digital painting and instead focus on traditional, and the rest will come? Because digital is secondary to traditional. So, at the end of the day, if my oil painting is judged side by side with a digital painting, I TOO would be deeply offended. To me, art isn't just about 'expressing' yourself. Today, too many 'abstract' and modern 'artists' are getting away with making money on the stupidity of others. To me, art is as much about discipline, as it is about creativity and expression. The perfection of a painting dictates the seriousness of the artist. It shows how long and hard the artist has trained and worked toward his/her goal. On the other side, there are too many artists that 'train' too long, and have no creativity. Pretty pictures, but no thought. Lastly, if you look at my website, almost all the paintings are digital. But I work hard in traditional media, and try to find the best of BOTH worlds. So, I hope you don't think I'm being a fool basing this off of ignorance._________________http://www.annisnaeem.blogspot.com/ Back to top SanBasejunior memberMember #Joined: 12 Apr 2007Posts: 21Location: Toronto Posted: Fri Apr 24, 2009 10:13 am The world is changing. Art cannot be divided into "real" and "digital" in the 21st century. Art cannot be separated from life. I understand that critics who were raised on traditional technology simply do not understand how digital art is created. For this type critic, everything they see on the screen is a heartless creation of computer. This question cannot arise in those who are familiar with computer technology. They understand that the computer is only a tool. It can facilitate the mechanical act of working on art, but it cannot replace the artist in creating the art. If a sculptor creates 30 meter sculptures, he can use workers with pick hammers. It is still the creation of the master artist who designed the sculpture. A lot of work does not mean a high quality of the work. Many forces were spent on mechanical (not creative) process. For what? In the Middle Ages the artists were forced to make paints themselves, now finished paints are bought in the store. Because of this, was the of the work of medieval masters better than contemporary?_________________www.sanbase.com Back to top balisticmemberMember #Joined: 01 Jun 2000Posts: 2599Location: Reno, NV, USA Posted: Fri Apr 24, 2009 11:29 am Quote: So, at the end of the day, if my oil painting is judged side by side with a digital painting, I TOO would be deeply offended. What if, by your own measures, the digital painter worked harder than you did? Or does every traditional painting require more effort than every digital one? Having been in a few galleries, I find that hard to swallow. *ramble start* Painting is the deliberate arrangement of color on a plane. Everything else is secondary. Now. monetarily, a digital piece should be less valuable than a traditional one, since there is no hand-worked original object. Digital art is harder to commoditize. The artistic value, however, should depend entirely on the image itself, as it strikes the retina. Is it a good picture? The photonic product of a digital painting is the same as a traditional one. If a traditional painting doesn't hold up next to a digital one, it's not because the guy with the computer was cheating, it's because his picture is better. With the exception of brazen theft, I don't think it's possible to cheat at art._________________brian.prince|light.comp.paint Back to top choboroymemberMember #Joined: 11 Jun 2005Posts: 139Location: Sydney Posted: Fri Apr 24, 2009 11:31 am Naeem was trying to point out the technical skill and understanding required to execute a quality artwork in traditional media and how digital media requires comparatively less of those same skills and knowledge since you can undo any mistakes you make. The final image is important yes, but the better it is, the more people will wonder about the process the artist used to get to the final image. I suppose therefore, half of the admiration people have for artworks comes from their acknowledgment of how much effort the artist has put into it. If you had two finished images that were exactly the same, except that one was done digitally and the other was done traditionally in let's say watercolour paints, which one would you be more inclined towards? I know that I would rather have the watercolour version because I know how difficult the medium is to master and that the final image had to be executed without making any mistakes. The digital image may have been skilfully executed, but the same kind of care and discipline is not required when the artist can ctrl+alt+z like mad (like me for example). And with your example of the sculptor; imagine the same situation: two identical 30 meter sculptures, but one was completely made by the artist, while the other was made by 10 labourers. We would immediately be drawn to the one made purely by the artist since we acknowledge how much work he had to put into it. Of course, that is if the digital and traditional images are of the same quality. This changes if the digital image is compositionally/tonally/etc. superior to its tradional counterpart. Back to top NaeemmemberMember #Joined: 13 Oct 2004Posts: 1222Location: USA Posted: Fri Apr 24, 2009 12:25 pm Balistic> perfectly valid points. Obviously there is no 'cheating'. But, as choboroy pointed out, if someone is a photoshop whore and stitches together photos to create everything, with minimal 'painting', it is not cheating. It is their method. However if someone painted the same thing in oils, you would automatically turn toward the oils. Because, It speaks of the artist's skill and level of mastery. I was merely arguing the amount of hard work that went into the finished piece. Getting a gradient on a canvas is much harder then using the gradient tool in photoshop. Neither one makes an artist better. I speak simply of the matter of skill vs. time, and why someone would be offended. On top of it, why your foundations are important. Now, someone can slave over an oil painting for weeks (and still suck) and then a good digital painter can do a 1 hour speedpainting in photoshop. If the digital is better, I would definitely leap toward the digital. But, I think I can still argue here that the person who creates a great digital painting can probably do the same in traditional media if given enough time. The fact that they're so good is most likely because they have a strong foundation in traditional media. All in all, it is the artist that creates the value of the painting. At the end of the day, it's not about how long you spent on the actual painting, but about your creativity, and the painting itself._________________http://www.annisnaeem.blogspot.com/ Back to top SanBasejunior memberMember #Joined: 12 Apr 2007Posts: 21Location: Toronto Posted: Fri Apr 24, 2009 1:21 pm choboroy wrote: The final image is important yes, but the better it is, the more people will wonder about the process the artist used to get to the final image. I suppose therefore, half of the admiration people have for artworks comes from their acknowledgment of how much effort the artist has put into it. In other words you suppose a labour input is more important than result of work? Where you saw the labels with information how many man-hours the artist has spent? What is a hourly rate of Picasso or Pollock? Who has spent more efforts? If you make manually a canvas and paints so your work will more valuable? I do not think so. Simply you will waste a lot of time. Any worker can make such mechanical work. The computer, as a tool, frees up the artists time to do what as an artist does best: create and innovate._________________www.sanbase.com Back to top Ian JonesmemberMember #Joined: 01 Oct 2001Posts: 1114Location: Brisbane, QLD, Australia. Posted: Fri Apr 24, 2009 8:58 pm I think we all love both mediums... If you look at the progression of technology over time it seems every generation of older artists always has an issue with the younger up and coming (not necessarily in terms of age, I mean metaphorically). Painting in the traditional sense had its own progressions of technology and ease of use and accessibility changed over time. Look for example at the rapid drying times of acrylic and gouache or the revolution in drawing tools, stocks and canvas not to mention the stir that photography caused. I'm sure these things got up peoples noses. "digital is secondary to traditional" I don't agree. I think perhaps what I would say in a similar comparison is that neither medium is primary. What is primary is the understanding of form, composition, colour, value, texture, line etc. etc... The medium chosen can vary. The medium may have inherent qualities which work in synergy with a particular creative expression, but that does not make that medium inherently greater overall. Balistic is right however, trying to commodotise digital work is much more difficult. So it is a somewhat Utopian point of view, overly idealistic to talk of mediums as irrelevant to the creative expression completely. However I think SanBase is right, the quality of the work cannot be purely represented by the medium, but rather the work itself. This is the key issue. The exhibition committee has simply failed to respond adequately to this scenario. They don't have a clear policy, and an even worse justification. For people working in a creative and expressive field they sure are rigid and draconian. It is a conflicting mindset. Back to top choboroymemberMember #Joined: 11 Jun 2005Posts: 139Location: Sydney Posted: Sat Apr 25, 2009 9:58 pm Bah, more verbose ranting from me. SanBase: haha, well obviously, the commercial value of an artwork is a completely different issue from it's aesthetic and emotional value. Reputation and popularity are definitely dominating factors in the art world when we consider the monetary value of an artwork. What I really am trying to get at is that, if we put things like reputation and popularity aside, all we have is the final artwork and preconceptions (whether right or wrong) about how it was created. Now supposing two different artworks have similar aesthetic value for a viewer (and let that imply that both artists have a similar level of understanding of line, colour, composition and tone), what else is there left to turn to except process? We haven't reached the stage where we can place digital techniques on the same level as oil painting, especially people who have no clue as to what goes into a digital image, but I think that everyone on this forum can agree that having done both, oil painting definitely takes more discipline, effort and care in order to achieve the same results as they could digitally. That's not to say that one is inherently superior to the other in any way. Digital imaging software is after all just another tool like a pencil or a brush, and requires its own set of technical skills just as painting in oils requires its own set of skills and painting in watercolour requires yet another different set of skills. As Ian said, the exhibition committee utterly failed to justify there reasons for rejecting your digital images, and I don't think any of us can either. We're all digital artists here so none of us will have preconceptions that digital is somehow "cheating". In fact, as Ballistic and Naeem said, artists should all know that there is no such thing as "cheating", only different approaches and methods. However, that does not mean that artists are not allowed to feel insecure when someone else achieves something as good as their work in substantially less time and with less training or practice. It also means we are allowed to have preferences for particular media. Back to top CicinimomemberMember #Joined: 03 Mar 2001Posts: 705Location: Seattle Posted: Wed Apr 29, 2009 3:57 pm I've run in to that kind of bias many times. The solution I maintain is to look for approval from people that understand what you're doing and care about the medium. In school I really wanted the fine artists I knew to appreciate my illustrations. They rarely did. Even if they found an illustration to be well done, they still had a different set of priorities and there was no lasting appeal. On the other hand, if those same people dropped by sijun to post their work, most of it would hit page 2 with only a polite comment or two. I'm thinking of people that were revered in art school and are finding success in major galleries. Yeah, its frustrating to have your work ignored or looked down at, but maybe there's a better place for it? Anyone can be victimized if they force their work into the wrong context._________________artpad.org Back to top medmemberMember #Joined: 22 Dec 2006Posts: 230Location: LA Posted: Wed Apr 29, 2009 7:16 pm I think it is our job as digital artists to start making some huge fancy Digital Art Museums (no traditional mediums permitted).

I know you're only kidding, but in college my thinking wasn't far from that. I really wanted digital paintings to be appreciated in the same way I went to museums to admire oil paintings. In the meantime people appreciate what we do when its in video games, novels and movies without any explanation or statement of purpose. That's nothing to sneeze at...compare the number of movie theaters, game shops and book stores to the number of art museums out there._________________artpad.org Back to top Ian JonesmemberMember #Joined: 01 Oct 2001Posts: 1114Location: Brisbane, QLD, Australia.

Have you ever stood infront of a real Pollock painting? What you´re essentialy doing now is take something that was painted with oil on a huge canvas, take a photo of it and display it digitally as a tiny viny image on a computer screen. And then comparing it with something that was created for just that. (the pollock painting is still better here on the screen IMHO) I remember not understanding what the big fuzz was with Pollock and a lot of expressionism art untill I saw it live in a museum. I had only seen it in books before. It´s a bit like, "aaaahhh ****.. ok now I get it." I agree with a lot of the points made in this thread. (I´ve been doing mostly digital work myself for some years). But the fact of the matter is that digital art is a very cheap medium compared to traditional mediums. I´m however always seeing more and more traditional painters opening up towards digital for sketching and learning purposes and it´s a fantastic tool to develop yourself, learn about image building, composition etc etc. But I don´t see how you can ever capture the "realness" of a traditional painting in digital print. Unless you do some mixed medium experiements which could be a fun thing to try out, silk printing etc. I´ve tried developing digital art on photographic paper and it´s decent, much better than normal print IMHO, but it´s nowhere close to a traditional painting. (It´s more like a photograph) I do agree that it´s way to looked down upon but it´s like that with all new mediums, perhaps digital more than others, but that´s no reason to not use it too our advantage. Learn as much as we can from it, then switch to traditional and kick everybodies ass with the mad skillz we´ve gained .

A day after three Syrian tanks entered the demilitarized zone on the Golan Heights to attack Syrian rebels, IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Benny Gantz visited the border region on Sunday, and warned army forces that "the Syrian affair could turn into our affair." Gantz instructed the IDF to be on alert in the area, and to prevent any spillover of the Syrian conflict into Israeli territory.
The Syrian tanks that entered the demilitarized zone on Saturday have still not left the area.
The IDF has called on the United Nations' Disengagement Force on the Golan Heights to oversee the withdrawal of the tanks.
The vehicles entered Beit Ajam, a few kilometers from an IDF position on the border. Earlier on Saturday, local residents near the Syrian border reported hearing heavy exchanges of fire between the Syrian army and rebels.

A bunch of artist friends and I took advantage of the long weekend and headed up to Montreal to see the J. W. Waterhouse exhibit — the largest-ever collection of Waterhouse work, it is on display until February 7th. Montreal will be its only North American venue.
Typically seeing a full body of one artist's work, being able to view a life-time's worth of progression, picking up on reoccurring symbols and learning their visual language, makes me appreciate the individual pieces more. I have to admit, in this case I felt I may have gotten more out of the paintings if I had stumbled upon them slowly over time. They are all beautiful, to be sure, but the effect of so many depictions of wistful women as an ideal of "feminine whatever" eventually got me a little eye-rolly. That said, my four or five favorite paintings of the show are amazing and well worth the trip all on their own.
The scale of the paintings was surprising – major works reaching 6 to 9 feet -- and it added to the otherworldliness of the mythological themes he often depicted. The application of paint is loose and wonderful to look at up close. (We were thankful to guards that never seemed to mind us standing nose-close to the works.) It was as easy to get lost in the folds of a woman's dress as it was the beauty of their faces.
Among my favorites...
"The Lady of Shallot", his most famous work, is heartbreaking. We see her embarking in what is soon to be her funeral barge. A sense of longing, freedom, and doom woven into her breath. The tapestries dragging in the water, at last a direct connection to the earth. Her face is in sharp focus while everything else softens around her…a moment of clarity within a dream.
"The Magic Circle", perhaps my favorite of the exhibit, shows a woman of real strength and depth. I love the slightly out-turned knee required to cut through the earth. Each crows looks like they have a part to play in the incantation. And, let's face it, the live snake oroborus around her neck is just badass.
"Mariamne" Another woman of strength and confidence. She stands strong as a marble column amongst so much judgment, the only figure able to look at the other players in the eye. The glow of her dress is striking but even more evocative is the shadow across her face – she is much more beautiful and mysterious because we can't quite see her.
I didn't know Waterhouse's work nearly as well as others on the trip but once there I realized how many of his paintings are icons. After a while, women standing on their toes with titled heads doesn't quite do it for me, but individually they are great and it was a treat to see them. Also on display was a room full of his sketch books and color studies.
Unfortunately the museum gets no marks for exhibition design. Matte black walls and glossy black signage gave the place a "welcome to my sexy-den" vibe, and being in darkness meant that the paintings had to be spotlit, causing a lot of reflections.
The rest of the museum is smallish but with some real gems. We ran across this Pascal Dangan-Bouverete painting and fell in love with it. These women are beautifull – stark, formal, honest and direct – without the need of a "feminine ideal." We also became enamored with this crazy sculpture of a woman embraced by Death. It might be the kind of thing you'd expect tattooed to a biker's arm, but it had us all entranced.
Day two: Back to the museum for a little refresher and then off to the Biodome. Lynx! Two lynxes. We heart the lynxes.
And the great part about winter travel?: depth of field. The train ride was a blast. I know it would be just as spectacular in the summer and heartbreaking in the fall, but being able to see through the trees and deep into snow covered fields and frozen lakes was mesmerizing. The downside: All the reading and work I thought I would do sat in my bag, mocking me, while I stared out the window for twelve hours straight.
It was amazing to be up there with so many friends, all passionate about art. The combined experience between them must have be in the hundreds of years. Between the conversation, artwork, lynxes, and landscapes, we are all excited to get back to work. Greg, Scott, Scott, Boris, Julie, Kurt, Zelda, Dan, Chris, Kristina, Tony, Nonie, Rebbecca, Rebbecca, Mat, Marc, Chloe, Alex, Elizabeth…it was awesome! What's next?

I'm so unbelievably jealous! I can't explain how upset I am that I'll never get to see all those amazing pieces all in one place like that. Once in a life time. That looked like a pretty amazing trip. Good art, good people, can't beat that!
Smallish? Is it possible you didn't find your way to the other 2 buildings of the museum? I have to say I love the room with the Bougereau's and the one with the dutch still lives (and we enjoy bitching about some of the contemporary abstract crap in the basement)

OK, OK, I guess there are advantages to living in NY. But how many Carman Exhibitions have you seen? We have at least one a year here. Seriously I thoroughly enjoy your travelog and your sharing. A vicarious experience is better than none.

Quitsune: Sorry! I did get to the building across the street but not to the third one. But we had an amazing time with the whole trip, we are already daydreaming about returning in the Spring so I;ll be sure to catch the entire museum.
Bill: Excellent point. Hmmm...where's that luggage again....

That terra cotta sculpture by Gerrit van Honthorst was amazing! Too bad it is so hard to find an image of it online. It was one of my favorite pieces in the permanent collection.

8 Out of 10 Cats does Countdown on Channel 4 is a panel show comedy hosted by Jimmy Carr where two teams have to analyse, think and joke about current statistics. Each week, the team captains, comedians Jon Richardson and Sean Lock, are joined by two celebrities to develop ideas in order to give statistics a real meaning. Often topical celebrities appear on the show, for example Ruth Badger following her appearance on The Apprentice.
The show is based on the statistics and opinion polls that are produced by a variety of organizations as well as new polls commissioned especially for the show.
Regular features include;
"What Are You Talking About?" - The polling organisation asked the public what they were talking about during the week. The teams have to try to guess the top three.
"Pick of the Polls" - The teams are given four pictures to pick from and are given a poll based around that picture.
"Believe It or Not" - The teams are given a statistic and try to guess if it is true or false.
"And the Winner Is..." - The teams are given a question from a poll and then they try to guess what came on top of that poll.
"The Poll with a Hole" - each team is given a statistic but it is missing one piece of salient information. The teams have to guess what that piece of information is missing.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving.
I have many blessings in my life to be thankful for. I think pain, tiredness, and other things weigh me down and i forget to be thankful.
"Life is not measured by
the number of breaths we take,
but by the moments
that take our breath away."
I hope everyone has a blessed Thanksgiving.

Happy Hanukkah everyone!
This year, I started celebrating the night before the first night. I didn't light any candles, but I could have said a shehecheyanu — the blessing traditionally recited on the first night of Hanukkah (and other holidays) and special occasions. This was a special occasion alright. Because I fried.
And fried.
And fried.
An Israeli friend, well-versed in the intricacies of baking and frying, emailed me his recipe for sufganiyot, and I left work a little early to pick up what we needed. A bag of flour. A bag of sugar. A dozen eggs. Yeast. And two gallons of oil.
That's right. Two gallons.
And then I rushed home to mix and knead the dough so it could rise.
My friend arrived an hour later to check on the rising dough. It needed another half hour.
So we turned on the football game. He watched. I poured the wine and heated up soup. We ate on the floor in front of the fireplace.
One glass of wine in, I checked the dough and we were ready to roll. Literally. I sprinkled flour on the counter. He grabbed the rolling pin and set to work. The slightly soft dough yielded to the pressure, spreading out across the granite. I grabbed a glass from the cabinet and cut circles out of the dough. He gathered the scraps and re-rolled them. I cut out the circles again.
He floured a pair of cookie sheets and gently lifted the rounds from the counter and slid them on to the sheets.
An hour later, the flat rounds had become nice and plump, with a slight jiggle when I reached out to touch their smooth skin.
The oil started to bubble in my new cocotte (thanks, mom and dad!). We dropped the first scrap in. It browned up fast with a flood of bubbles. We lowered the heat. The second and third scraps quickly browned too. We lowered the heat again. And then lowered in another scrap. It floated on the oil, staying pale and wan. We turned up the heat. With the fifth scrap came a flurry of teeny tiny bubbles and slow trickle of larger ones. The triangular scrap puffed up even more, turning golden and then coffee-with-a-touch-of-milk brown.
A quick taste and we knew we were ready for the real deal.
My friend scooched the first doughnut towards the edge of the cookie sheet, helping it along the way with a spatula, and slid it into the oil. A quick bob in the oil and then a float, turning golden to brown, and it was ready to be flipped. A few more minutes and it landed on the paper towel-lined countertop. Four more quickly joined. Four more and then the last few.
Armed with a syringe (that a medical resident friend of mine snatched from the hospital), I pierced the side of one of the surganiyot, gently nudged the tip into the center and slowly depressed the plunger, drawing the tip backwards to the edge, leaving a trail of jam.
We tore open this first sufganiya and, between mouthfuls, filled the rest with jam.
I showered the chubby beauties with powdered sugar.
As we plucked up the sufganiyot, they left outlines behind.
These doughnuts are traditionally filled with bright reddish-pink jelly though in Israel they come in all flavors. I used raspberry jam. Next time I'll try dulce de leche. Using a drinking glass to cut the dough, we were able to make about a dozen doughnuts (but only eight made it to the office with me this morning).
– 2 packets dry yeast (or 2 T)
– 3/4 C warm water (body temperature…I take it from the tap)
– 1 C whole milk (you can make with water if you'd like to keep the sufganiyot non-dairy)
– 3/4 C sugar
– 6 T shortening or margarine (Crisco works great here)
– 1 t salt
– 2 eggs
– 5 – 6 C flour
– 1 gallon oil (vegetable or peanut oil is best; canola works in a pinch)
– confectioner's sugar
Proof. Mix yeast with warm water and a pinch of sugar. After about 5 minutes, it will foam up.
Heat. Warm milk in a pan over low heat until it reaches body temperature.
Mix. In a large bowl, mix sugar, shortening, and salt until creamy (I used my barely-functional waiting-for-the-new-one-to-arrive mixer on low speed and it hobbled along, so you could probably do just as well the old-fashioned way). Add eggs and mix. Add yeast mixture and milk and continue to mix. Add 2 cups of the flour. Beat in the remaining flour a half-cup at a time until the dough is very elastic and no longer sticks to the bowl. I had to add a total of 6 cups.
Knead. Knead dough for 5-10 minutes. I started kneading in my mixer and then finished up the last few minutes by hand on a floured counter.
Rise. Put dough in a greased bowl. Cover with a damp towel and let rise in a warm place until it doubles in bulk – at least an hour. I heat my oven to the lowest temperature possible (170ºF) and then turn it off and leave the covered bowl inside to rise.
Knead. Once dough has doubled, knead it again briefly.
Roll. Roll the dough out on a floured counter until it is about 1/2 thick.
Cut. Using a drinking glass, cut the dough into rounds. Re-roll the scraps and cut the rest of the rounds. These (the rounds from the re-rolled dough) will need to rise a little bit longer than the others. Keep the remaining scraps to test the oil.
Rise again. Place the rounds on a well-floured cookie sheet (ideally the kind without edges) so the dough is easier to slide right off into the oil. Let rise again until double, at least another hour. The rounds will get nice and round.
Heat. Fill a really wide pot with high sides with oil and heat over low to medium heat. Remember those scraps left over? Gently slide one into the oil. If one side browns in 1-2 minutes, the oil is too hot. If it takes more than 5 minutes, the oil is not hot enough. You'll probably need to test and adjust the temperature a few times. The oil is perfect when you it forms a lot of teeny tiny rolling bubbles around the dropped dough. I checked the oil temperature with a meat thermometer – it was 310ºF.
Fry! Once you've go the oil at the right temperature, lower the cookie sheet close to the surface of the oil and scootch your first roly-poly round into the oil. Tiny bubbles should surround the doughnut. When the first side puffs up and reaches a nice brown (a bit darker than "golden"), flip it over. It took us about 3-4 minutes per side. And we made about 3-4 per batch.
Drain. Cover your counter or a few plates with several layers with paper towels. Using a slotted spoon, remove the sufganiyot from the oil onto the paper towels and drain off excess oil.
Fill. Load a turkey baster (or 60cc syring if you happen to have a friend who works in a hospital and can snag one) with whatever filling you want to use. Poke it into the side of a doughnut as far as it will go. Slowly and steadily squeeze/inject the filling into the sufganiyah while gently pulling back to the edge of the doughnut.
Dust. Sift confectioners sugar over the top of the sufganiyot.
Eat. The sufganiyot are best fresh, but they will last about 24 hours if well wrapped.

The outlook appears bright for the Herndon High girls' softball team this spring. The Hornets, under veteran coach Bonnie O'Hearn, will have eight returning seniors on their roster this season.
Last year's Herndon squad reached the Concorde District tournament semifinals where it lost to Centreville. Then, at the 16-team Northern Region tournament, the Hornets, as the No. 4 seed from out of the Concorde, defeated Patriot District top seed South County in a first round game. That put Herndon into the quarterfinals, where it saw its season end with a quarterfinals round loss to eventual region runner-up Stone Bridge.
"We played real well together as a team," said O'Hearn, of last year's squad. "Our defense was much better than in year's past and our offense hit better."
This year's Herndon team, with most of its starting lineup back, will, in all likelihood, be highly competitive as well.
The Hornets will be led by senior returning starting pitcher Katie Rynex.
"She has good speed and control," said coach O'Hearn, of her mound ace. "She does a great job keeping batters [in check]."
Another senior who will play a key role for Herndon is co-captain Katie Briggs, who will see time on both the pitching mound and in center field.
O'Hearn feels good about her team's chances with either Rynex or Briggs on the pitching mound.
"Both of these girls are four year starters and have great knowledge of the game," she said.
Handling shortstop duties will be senior Marra Hvozdovic, a returning starter.
"She's very quick and has a strong arm," said O'Hearn, of Hvozdovic's defensive prowess.
During a recent scrimmage game against Langley,
Hvozdovic fielded a ball before, from her knees, making an impressive throw to first base to throw out a Saxon batter.
HERNDON IS SCHEDULED to open up its new season on Wednesday of this week with a non-district home game against Dominion High of Sterling. Later this month, the Hornets will travel to Richmond over spring break to take part in the Sports Plus Tournament.
O'Hearn is confident that her team can put together a strong 2008 season.
"We only graduated one permanent starter," said the coach. "I think we're very positive about things. The girls have played together so long and we're hoping this will be our year."
The South Lakes High girls' softball team is under new leadership this spring with former Seahawks' assistant Tino Impellizzeri now at the helm of the program.
Over the preseason, Impellizzeri has talked to his ball club about approaching the spring campaign with a positive mindset. The Seahawks have struggled to win games in recent years (two wins over the past three seasons), and their new coach wants them to believe things can turn around.
"We've had several meetings and discussions," said Impellizzeri. "We're preaching positive attitudes and starting a whole new program. We're trying to fight that losing attitude. I've been very excited with how they've responded to the coaches. For the juniors and seniors on the team, I'm hoping they can finish their careers with a good experience."
Impellizzeri's coaching staff this spring is made up of assistants Michael Collins (JV coach), John Lyons (varsity assistant), Jason Conroy and Katy Whitman (JV assistant).
Impellizzeri, who owns Lucia's Italian Ristorante (Fox Mills Shopping Center in Herndon), has been a Reston resident the past 20 years. He has coached Little League baseball and house league softball over the past 10 years. He was hired as the new South Lakes coach earlier this winter and is excited about the challenge of turning around the fortunes of Seahawks' softball. A daughter, junior Katy Impellizzeri, is a third-year varsity player for South Lakes and will play catcher for the Seahawks this season.
South Lakes' starting pitcher this spring will be senior Jordan Foster, who has pitched each of the past three seasons for the team.
"She's showing more improvement and we're hoping our better defense will help her this year," said coach Impellizzeri, who added that the pitching ace will also need good run support from the offense. "She's very consistent. She does not walk too many players. She's got a good head on her shoulders and she's a good, young ball player who has stuck in there during hard times at South Lakes."
A key position player for the Seahawks will be senior first baseman Chalsea Huber, who did not play last year because of a shoulder injury.
Two talented freshmen players should give the program a nice boost this season in Nina Rodriguez (center field/shortstop) and Alyssa Siqueiros (third baseman).
"Those are two freshmen who will start," said Impellizzeri. "I'm hoping to build the program around them [over the next few years] because they are going to be excellent."
South Lakes' three tri-captains this season are Foster, Katy Impellizzeri and Huber.

After more than two decades of investing and trading in the stock market, I have learned that a good trader's mind works differently than everyone else's.
Good traders see the world in a unique way and ask questions that others don't think of. Let me give you an example. Colorado passed a measure in this week's election to legalize recreational marijuana use. If you bring this up with the average person or passive investor, you are likely to get numerous responses: that they were unaware of this development, or that it's one more reason to ski Aspen this year, or maybe that pot is a gateway drug. But the first thing a good trader wants to know is how to play the increased demand for pizza delivery that will result from this new law in Colorado.
I consistently ask myself these types of questions when I am looking at current events. This leads me to research stocks that I would not have otherwise discovered, and hopefully allows me to recognize opportunities before others realize that a recent event could be a catalyst for a stock's prospects or help sentiment on the equity.
Here are two recent events that I believe could lead to good stock selections.
Due to the financial crisis and anemic recovery, state and municipal budgets are under extreme pressure. Many are turning to legalized gambling to create jobs and bring in additional tax revenue. Maryland became the latest state to approve casino gambling Tuesday. This means increased demand for everything that goes into opening and operating a casino, including the advanced slot machines currently in use. This should be good for International Game Technology (IGT), which produces these machines. The stock is selling for under $13 a share with a median analyst price target of $16 a share. IGT also pays a 1.8% dividend and sells for just over 11x forward earnings, a discount to its five-year average (17.8).
Other than the election, the biggest story of the last few weeks is Superstorm Sandy and its aftermath. It is heartbreaking to see the loss of life and the millions of people that have had their lives uprooted. My old neighborhood in Hoboken, N.J., was rendered unlivable from what I hear. It is amazing to see how many people have been forced to move their belongings into storage or to a new abode. This tragedy, however, could be a catalyst for companies that rent moving trucks, including AMERCO (UHAL), provider of the iconic do-it-yourself moving trucks and storage facilities that are a big part of the mobile American life. UHAL closed Wednesday at $112.51 a share and is rising sharply in morning trading. Shares are cheap at just over 8x forward earnings, and the company just declared a $5-per-share special cash dividend. The stock has a median analyst price target of $136 a share.

Mission Control Center
On board Endeavour today, the crew will focus its efforts on checking out the systems and equipment that will be used during Endeavour's planned reentry and landing Monday.
Endeavour is scheduled to return to the Kennedy Space Center about 11:55 a.m. CST tomorrow, weather permitting. Preliminary weather forecasts predict generally acceptable conditions at the landing site, with a chance of rain showers in the vicinity. Entry Flight Director LeRoy Cain and his team of flight controllers will oversee the crew's checkout of flight control systems and surfaces this morning from Mission Control. They also will receive updated weather forecasts for Monday's planned landing.
On what should be their final full day in space, Endeavour's crew – Commander Dom Gorie, Pilot Mark Kelly, Mission Specialists Linda Godwin and Dan Tani, along with the returning Expedition Three crewmembers Frank Culbertson, Vladimir Dezhurov and Mikhail Tyurin – were awakened at 3:14 a.m. by the song "I'll Be Home For Christmas," sung by Bing Crosby.
About 9 a.m. today, Endeavour's crew will deploy a small satellite called STARSHINE 2 from a canister located in the payload bay. More than 30,000 students from 660 schools in 26 countries will track STARSHINE 2 as it orbits the Earth for eight months. The students, who helped polish STARSHINE'S 845 mirrors, will use the information they collect to calculate the density of the Earth's upper atmosphere.
Endeavour's middeck will carry home the results of several experiments completed during Expedition Three's stay on the station. These include the Advanced Protein Crystallization Facility, the Dynamically Controlled Protein Crystal Growth experiment and cells from the Cellular Biotechnology Operations Support System (CBOSS). The CBOSS equipment aboard the space station will remain active during Expedition Four, growing ovarian and colon cancer cells, as well as kidney cells in microgravity.
Experiments in Endeavour's payload bay also will be coming home, to be returned to investigators around the world. The Multiple Application Customized Hitchhiker-1 (MACH-1) is carrying a wide array of experiments, including the Prototype Synchrotron Radiation Detector, the Collisions Into Dust Experiment-2, the Capillary Pump Loop, and the Space Experiment Module (SEM). The SEM is carrying experiments from Argentina, Portugal, Morocco and Australia, as well experiments from U.S. schoolchildren. Several other canisters in Endeavour's payload bay are also carrying student experiments.
The next Mission Control status report will be issued about 6 p.m. CST today or as events warrant.
NASA Johnson Space Center Mission Status Reports and other information are available automatically by sending an Internet electronic mail message to firstname.lastname@example.com.

The UCI has announced the quotas for the Road World Championships next month, based on UCI rankings in the WorldTour, Country and Continental Tours (depending upon category), as of August 15th.
The Individual Time Trial is straightforward, with each country eligible to enter four riders per category, of whom two may start. Under 23 men on Division One (UCI ProTeam) teams ride the Elite Time Trial (unless they are a Stagiaire).
The Team Time Trial, which was added last year, is for UCI ProTeams (mandatory participation), plus selected Pro Continental and Continental teams, based on rankings. The top-20 women's UCI teams by ranking as of August 15th are eligible to enter.
For the Elite men's road race, Canada is fifth in the Americas Tour continental ranking, allowing us to name five riders and start three. In the Under 23 Men, Canada will receive no starters. For Junior men, Canada gets to name ten and start five.
Kris Westwood, the High Performance Manager at Cycling Canada, has updated us on the situation regarding the Under 23 men: "The rules state that each nation that appears on the Nations Cup ranking after the final event will be able to register two riders, with one to start. Since Canada is 16th in the Nations Cup ranking with 13 points, that means we should get a starter, but it won't be announced until Sept. 1. We have requested clarification from the UCI to make sure our interpretation of the rule is correct, but I think we can bank on having one U23 man in the road race at Worlds."
For the Elite women's road race, Canada can name 12 riders and start six, while the Junior women's category allows every nation to name eight and start four.
The full criteria can be downloaded Here.

WASHINGTON — The US Navy has officially selected Sikorsky to develop the next-generation of presidential helicopters.
The contract, a $1.2 billion deal, covers the engineering and manufacturing development phase of the Presidential Helicopter Replacement program. The EMD phase calls for the procurement of six test aircraft and two simulators, with an October 2020 completion date.
The Sikorsky design, a modified version of its S-92 helicopter, will also feature work by Lockheed Martin. Work will primarily be performed at Sikorsky's Stratford, Connecticut, plant, although facilities in Owego, New York, and Coatesville, Pennsylvania, will also receive some work.
The selection of Sikorsky is hardly a surprise, as the rotorcraft giant was the only bidder on the program. Although the Navy had publicly said it desired competition for the contract, teams from Northrop Grumman-AgustaWestland and Bell-Boeing declined to bid after studying the requirements. Defense News reported Tuesday that the selection was imminent.
The president is currently carried in Sikorsky-made VH-3D and VH-60N aircraft, something the company noted in its announcement of the award.
"We are honored by this news and the vote of confidence in the Sikorsky team and the proven S-92 platform," Sikorsky President Mick Maurer said in a company statement. "For 57 years, our company has been trusted with the critical responsibility of building and supporting a safe and reliable helicopter fleet for the President of the United States. We are proud of our record and the bright future for our company. We stand ready to deliver the next Marine One, the world's most advanced executive transport helicopter."
A Navy spokesman did not immediately return a request for comment.
The Navy has been attempting to award the contract for the presidential helicopter, formally known as VXX, since the mid-2000s. Sikorsky lost the contract to a team of Lockheed and AgustaWestland in 2005, before requirements creep led to increased costs and the eventual cancellation of that contract in 2009. After some delay, the new competition began in November of 2012.

Let's try to hurdle RCIA's confirmation in two gulps. Today, a look at two sections of rubrics; tomorrow the rite itself.
231. Between the celebration of baptism and confirmation, the congregation may sing a suitable song.
A transitional piece, it would seem. The rite doesn't give any suggestions for the text, but RCIA's Appendix II (nos. 595-597) does give texts for acclamations and songs. Many of these have been set over the past twenty to thirty years.
The place for the celebration of confirmation is either at the baptismal font or in the sanctuary, depending on the place where, according to local conditions, baptism has been celebrated.
I've not always seen this followed. Sometimes the sanctuary or it's front is used even if baptisms have taken place at the font. Visibility would be the pragmatic reason for trotting out the newly baptized. Is it a good enough reason?
232. If the bishop has conferred baptism, he should now also confer confirmation. If the bishop is not present, the priest who conferred baptism is authorized to confirm.
[When there are a great many persons to be confirmed, the minister of confirmation may associate priests with himself as ministers of the sacrament.]
And these associate ministers may assist either a bishop or a priest.

And there's a good reason why that debate continues; both sides make compelling arguments. On the one hand, your mortgage is quite likely the largest expense you will ever incur in your life.

About 50% of cats show signs of obesity. SlimCat™ Cat Toy is an interactive feeding ball that gives your cat portion control and exercise. The SlimCat™ toy increases feline activity, decreases excessive eating and improves behavioural problems associated with boredom such as excessive meowing, scratching or aggression. The toy distributes an adjustable amount of dry food as your cat plays with it. By providing smaller portions of food throughout the day, it helps to maintain optimum weight as well as improve your cat's digestion. It's great for cats of all sizes, especially overweight cats. Fill with a healthy portion of dry food and watch your cat shape up on his own!
It's the greatest invention for cats (like mine) that eat their food in less then a minute. Now it takes them 10 minutes to empty the ball. Because they don't eat so fast any more, they aren't so hungry so soon after their meal. We both sit on the ground, each with a cat and encourage them to play. In the beginning they were a bit lazy, but soon they learned that if they want to have food you have to do something for it.
My vet recommended this to me, and it's the invention I was looking for. They no longer ask for food earlier than feeding time!. Thank you very much! Good job!
> PetSafe Response: Hi Helma, it's great to hear that your cats are much happier and healthier now they're taking their time to both eat and play. Thank you for sharing your feedback!

It was a mixed day for Whitecaps FC Residency teams at South Surrey Athletic Park on Sunday against visiting Portland Timbers in United States Soccer Development Academy action.
Playing their first matches of the season at home, the U-18s were defeated 6-3 in an entertaining encounter before striker Terran Campbell scored two goals to clinch a 2-0 victory for the U-16s.
The Residency teams will break over the holiday period before resuming their seasons away to Sacramento-based outfit San Juan SC.
Whitecaps FC (5W-5L-1D) got off to a flying start with two goals in the opening 20 minutes from Carlos Marquez and Yassin Essa.
But Portland managed to pull a goal back just before halftime to reduce the margin to 2-1.
The Timbers dominated proceedings from that point on, beginning with a superbly taken free kick in the 51st minute that changed the course of the match.
Portland added more tallies in the 55th, 63rd and 86th minutes before Whitecaps FC striker Brody Huitema found the back of the net two minutes from time.
The visitors weren't done and they rounded out the scoring a minute later.
While disappointed with the final score, coach Gordon Forrest said the match provided another learning experience for his team, adding the players need to find that killer instinct when ahead in games.
"We started off well," he said. "We went 2-0 up, and then we lost a goal just before the halftime break - which was a little bit of a blow as that let them back in the game.
"Obviously the dynamics changed a little bit in the second half, we sort of lost our way a little bit after being in control of the game.
"But there were pleasing spells of possession from us and the goals we scored were very good.
"Now we need to work on killing the game off when we're in front and developing a ruthless streak."
Whitecaps FC U-18 lineup:
Nolan Wirth; Quinton Duncan (Matthew van der Eyden 85'), Jackson Farmer, Alex Comsia, Sam Adekugbe; Mitch Piraux, Carlos Marquez (Kianz Froese 58'), Sebastian Cabrera (Liam Elbourne 80'); Yassin Essa, Spencer DeBoice, Brody Huitema.
Craig Dalrymple's troops (6W-4L-1D) continued their rich vein of form of late with a 2-0 triumph over their MLS rivals.
Campbell opened the scoring around the 20-minute mark before adding the insurance marker minutes after the halftime break.
Dalrymple was pleased with the overall performance, particularly the way his team controlled the match.
"It was a good battling performance, we controlled the game again as we have in recent weeks and got some rewards in the first half," he said.
"The game got a little scrappy in the middle phase so at halftime we regrouped the players and reminded them of some of the things we wanted to do in possession. They came out and Terran scored a second goal early in the second half. It was a good strike from distance and we generally managed the game from that point on so it was a good performance."
Dalrymple said his players can now go into the Christmas break in high spirits.
"They've progressively got better over the last five or six games and they've started to understand that they do have some good qualities," he said. "So for them it was a good confidence boost."
Whitecaps FC U-16 lineup:
Marco Carducci; Matteo Bordignon; Matthew Baldisimo, Evangelos Boucas, Jordan Haynes; Jeevin Kang, Francesco Saporito, Matthew Chow (Thomas Gardner 70'), Dario Zanatta (Olamide Ajibike 75')' Terran Campbell (AJ Lopez 65'), Aymar Sigue (Evan Gray 68).

Avalon's dining room has chic, minimalist décor and a neutral color palette.
Photos: Avalon Restaurant-Scottsdale AZ
With its modern twist on an ancient legend, Avalon can be found on an unassuming stretch of McDowell Road. The Scottsdale restaurant has an almost whimsical presence and enchanting appeal that is first noted by the serene and placid pool that leads to the entrance while soothing music drifts through the air.
Inside, the chic, minimalist décor and neutral color palette continue the feeling of serenity. The calm ambiance is adorned with touches of nature, such as white tree branches and dark wood accents.
In contrast to its decor, Avalon's food is an eclectic combination of seafood and contemporary American cuisine prepared and presented with a passionate eye for aesthetic detail. And in a nod to its namesake, a sweet concoction called the Lady of the Lake can be found on the cocktail menu.
My dinner companions and I began our night with several starters. The crispy calamari and polenta-stuffed jumbo prawns were very well received. But the top prizes went to the lobster bisque and the steamed Prince Edward Isle mussels. A special that day, the bisque was creamy with a surprisingly tasty tang. The mussels were swimming in a delicious lobster bouillabaisse loaded with smoked white fish and shrimp. The bouillabaisse struck the perfect balance of piquant and mild flavors. It was my first experience with mussels and — if they're all this good — it certainly won't be my last.
Next up was the soup-and-salad course. The Avalon Caesar and roasted beet salads were delicious, but the clear favorite was the organic baby field greens with candied walnuts and fresh strawberries. I also couldn't resist the French sweet onion soup. With just the right amount of sweet it definitely lived up to its name.
Entrees came next and we chose carefully to keep a balance of appetizing dishes that hailed from land and sea. The shrimp fettuccine carbonara was a rich combination of flavors topped with crispy pancetta, English peas and lemon crema. The seared Maine diver scallops also received rave reviews from our table.
Although the seafood dishes were palate pleasing, it was the lamb and steak dinners that tantalized our taste buds. The Provimi farms lamb dish was made up of a roasted rack of lamb and seared lamb T-bone, topped with a green peppercorn sauce that we all agreed was scrumptious. The aged prime rib-eye steak satisfied even the most devout meat lover, and coupled with a potato pancetta hash, onions and a bordelaise sauce, it was a meal to end all meals.
I didn't think I had any room left for dessert, but when I saw an item on the menu called Avalon's Chocolate Decadence I couldn't say no. Our server informed us that the treat had won an award for best dessert in the Valley for the past five years. One taste and I knew why.
Alas, our time at Avalon had come to an end and the verdict was in: For delicious and innovative fare, a visit to Avalon won't disappoint. This casually classy establishment is truly an indulgence for the senses — invigorating your taste buds in a serene setting while awakening you to the sights, sounds and flavors of fine cuisine.

"…inside, we found the "Sacrement Inspiree" fashion shoot photographed by Terry Richardson and "realized" by editor in chief Carine Roitfeld. The theme? Voodoo/wicca/satanism!"
Fashion design by Alexander McQueen, photo by Terry Richardson.
Among the designers highlighted in the shoot is Alexander McQueen, who recently unveiled a witch-themed fashion line.
"McQueen, the greatest theatric in fashion, didn't just focus on witches, but ruminated visually on the occult, paganism and Egyptian devils. The only surprise is that the Vatican daily L'Osservatore Romano has not since penned an editorial condemning the show."
As for the shoot itself, Roitfeld seems to be a fan of left-hand fashions and has inserted serveral "Satanic" symbols to spice up the mix, prompting Jezebel to exclaim that "Devil worship is the new black!"
Satanic fashion?
Will occult and Pagan themes continue to influence high fashion? Will any of the more sensible designs be co-opted by the masses? Will Satanism find new life in Haute couture? Does this predict a future in which Pagan festivals set the tone for fashionistas everywhere? These questions, and many more, remain to be answered.

You may have had angina, dizziness, or other symptoms of heart trouble. To help diagnose your problem, your doctor may suggest having a cardiac catheterization. This common procedure is sometimes also used to treat a heart problem.
Tell your doctor what medicines you take and about any allergies you have.
Don't eat or drink anything after midnight, the night before the procedure.
You may be admitted to the hospital on the day of the procedure.
Know that any hair on the skin where the catheter will be inserted may be removed. You may be given medication to relax before the procedure.
You will receive a local anesthetic to prevent pain at the insertion site.
The doctor inserts an introducing sheath into a blood vessel in your groin or arm.
Through the sheath, a long, thin tube called a catheter is placed inside the artery and guided toward your heart.
To perform different tests or check other parts of the heart, the doctor inserts a new catheter or moves the catheter or X-ray machine.
For some tests, a contrast dye is injected through the catheter.
Your doctor or nurse will tell you how long to lie down and keep the insertion site still.
If the insertion site was in your groin, you may need to lie down with your leg still for several hours.
A nurse will check your blood pressure and the insertion site.
You may be asked to drink fluid to help flush the contrast liquid out of your system.
Have someone drive you home from the hospital.
It's normal to find a small bruise or lump at the insertion site. These common side effects should disappear within a few weeks.
Call your doctor right away if you have any of the following:
Angina (chest pain).
Pain, swelling, redness, bleeding, or drainage at the insertion site.
Severe pain, coldness, or a bluish color in the leg or arm that held the catheter.
Blood in your urine, black or tarry stools, or any other kind of bleeding.
Fever over 101°F (38.8°C)

ExclusionsData Interpretation
Schools must effectively involve students in learning to ensure educational success. Stand-downs, suspensions, and exclusions help provide indications of where engagement in productive learning may be absent and behavioural issues may be present. Stand-downs, suspensions and exclusions are not measures of student behaviour but measures of a school's reaction to behaviour. What one school may choose to suspend for another may not.
Identical information is available by school (Find a School), as well as regional council and territorial authority (Know Your Region).
- Age standardised rate is 'observed'/'baseline'*'national rate per 1,000'. Care should be taken when examining age-standardised rates, especially in the cases when small numbers are involved. For more information on age-standardisation see the Technical Notes/Definitions tab.
- International fee paying students, students age 16+ and private students are excluded.
- 'x' = less than 5 students in the denominator for this category, or if left unmasked the data may lead to deducing other masked values.
- Ethnicity is prioritised. MELAA (Middle Eastern, Latin American, and African) students are included with 'Other'.
